Removing Engine from Long-Term Storage
NOTE: The following storage removal procedure is used
for long-term engine storage up to one year. After
that, the engine should be started, warmed up, and
retreated for an extended storage period.
Refer to the appropriate section for detailed services listed
below or have an authorized servicing dealer or engine
distributor perform unfamiliar services.
1. Remove all protective coverings from engine. Unseal
all openings in engine and remove covering from
electrical systems.
2. Remove grease from all exposed metal surfaces.
3. Remove the batteries from storage. Install batteries
(fully charged) and connect the terminals.
4. Install fan and alternator poly-vee belt, if removed.
5. Fill fuel tank.
6. If drained, fill DEF tank with new DEF.
If not drained, DEF must pass visual, smell, and
concentration checks before the engine can be ran.
See Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) — Use in Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Equipped Engines in the
Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolants Section for more
information.
7. Perform all appropriate prestarting checks. See Daily
Prestarting Checks in the Lubrication & Maintenance
— Daily Section for more information.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate starter more than 30
seconds at a time. Wait at least 2 minutes for
starter to cool before trying again.
8. Crank engine for 20 seconds with starter. Do not allow
the engine to start. Wait 2 minutes and crank engine
an additional 20 seconds to assure bearing surfaces
are adequately lubricated.
See your authorized dealer for the proper procedure
for your application.
9. Start engine and run at low idle and no load for 15
minutes.
10. Shut engine off. Change engine oil and replace filter.
